17:00 UTC will likely not work for me.

Therefore, votes and comments interspersed below

0 ... this proposal needs further discussion. It's way too complex and 
way too intrusive to be able to comment on in a short emails.

In my understanding, the globus package set is an arbitrary set of 
packages like many 1000 others in Fedora and therefore doesn't need 
specialized rules in the FPG.

I would presume this kind of "wisdom" to be "elementary and basic 
knowledge", people without should not package packages for Fedora.

Apart of this, this proposal is misleading ("should honor", IMO "must 
honor"), partially wrong (make CFLAGS=... is wrong for modern autotools 
based packages), ... I don't find this proposal helpful.

=> My vote: -1
